My adenium has been neglected! please help!!!!!!
Comments (58)Hi everyone! It's been way too long since last time I checked in! I thought I had better post some progress photos of my big baby! This is the first time its flowered like this since its big haircut 8 months ago. Its tried to flower a few times but the buds would fall off before they got big enough to open. My seedlings on the other hand are not so good. I think maybe they're getting too much sun..... but I will update that post in the next few days. I also had some interesting results with some of my seedlings and seaweed solution. Enjoy :-)...See MoreAdenium how often do you repot
Comments (3)Flash48, thank you for the reply. I think I asked the wrong question. I don't repot mine every spring I change the potting mix and place them in the same pot. I was wondering if doing this was really necessary here in AZ. I have learned a lot from the adenium forum and it looks like I'm doing the same as you do. I also bring them inside in the winter and don't water until I take them out in the spring. I guess I was trying to find short cuts lol. You have answered my question thanks again....See MoreRe-potting Adenium 1.5 inch seedlings
Comments (4)Paulie, they can stay in the same pot for another year or more. Type of pot is personal preference. Plastic will stay moist longer the clay or cement pot. I will not grow them in clear plastic. In my opinion, roots should stay in a dark environment. Any mixes will be fine as long as they drain well. Seedlings can tolerate a little more water than older plants. They don't like to be completely dry out between water. Since the temperature in US Florida is around 85-95 give or take, I water my seedlings daily. Unless you plan to roots training. You don't have to cut them. If you don't want the roots to tangle together. I suggest you to place a small object under the root ball. Small round plastic circle, small rounded rock, or a small piece of styrofoam work well. we rise the plant higher to expose their caudex or fat roots below. Since, seedlings don't have either, you dont have to rise them as this time. Don't bury them any deeper either. Hopefully someone have more experience can give you other inputs....See MoreCut out adenium rot or wait and see?
Comments (1)I just had a horrible case of rot on one of my desert rose plants. The folks on the Adenium Forum were very helpful in guiding me along. LatinLady (Maria Elena) Is pretty knowledgeable and helpful. She's watching (and preparing for) Irma right now, but I am sure she will pop in to help. Give these folks a try. http://forums.gardenweb.com/forums/adenium Folks here can advise you, too, but the adenium forum is more specialized. A lot of us post on both. Good luck!!...See Moreixorapink
